Happy 7th Birthday, Saya!

This is what Saya had to say about her party.

In my birthday, I played a game. I really liked it. It was fun.  My favorite part was eating.  My favorite food was the chocolate cream cookies,  I had a chocolate kitty cake with strawberry cream filling.  My Mommy made it for me.  All of my friends came to my birthday party.  After eating we went outside to play.  We played on the see-saw and the swing.  We also rode on the little tricycles.  I had a good party.  I liked all the presents, too!

Saya celebrated her 7th birthday with friends at home.  Most of her friends from school came and she had lots of fun celebrating with her pals.  Little girls can party hard, is what I learned!  We had a good time though.  I hoped Mike stayed to help out but he cleverly left and I was alone with 10 little girls.  We played scavenger hunt, did flip flop craft and piñata on the deck.  A little girl bumped her head and kept crying and I felt so bad for her.  Since I was by myself I couldn't properly comfort her and that is one regret I have about the day.  She was OK though and I think I will invite her for a playdate again so that she won't have a bad memory about being at our house :-)

Saya at 7:

- She does not like to lose and she will throw a massive tantrum when others do better than her. 
- She enjoys writing short stories about animals.  Her funniest or craziest story she wrote is "Go to War" and it's a story about a dog named Lily who wants to go to a war and fight.
- She is a very good student.  Focused and always score perfect on spelling and geography.
- She started saying "I don't care!" when I tell her something.  I do not like that.
